Welcome to Quarry Brae Primary!  

The school is in the Parkhead area of the City of Glasgow in Scotland! We hope you will get to know us through our Home Page. The school was built in 1903 and has been serving the boys and girls of the East End of Glasgow since then. The building is a three storey red sandstone one with the galleried central hall well lit by light from a large glass roof. When the school was opened Glasgow was the second city of the British Empire with Parkhead at its industrial heart and Charles Rennie Mackintosh was a practising architect in Glasgow. Times change, the East End is regenerating, the site of Beardmore's Forge is  a successful shopping mall and Charles Rennie Mackintosh is now renowned world wide.        

In the other gardens And all up the vale From the autumn bonfires See the smoke trail! Pleasant summer over And all the summer flowers, The red fire blazes, The grey smoke towers.   Sing a song of seasons! Something bright in all! Flowers  in the summer, Fires in the fall!
